[quote=Anonymous]It’s not a per day thing. There have been days when I’ve only seen my kid at bedtime. Not often, but on one off days where I have an event and have to leave very early and only get home right before bed (and sometimes only because DH has delayed bedtime by 30 minutes so I can do tuck in). If that was every day or even a regular occurrence, I’d be devastated— missing too much. But it just a few days a year. Often when this happens I make it up on the weekend by doing special 1:1 time. Plus I think this solo time with dad is actually good for their relationship too.

It would even be fine (though a bit sad) if I didn’t see my kid at all those days. Again, she’s with her dad, it’s not like she’s sitting around waiting for me. It’s a day.

Now, in terms of day to day, I aim to spend 2-3 hours with my kid every day, including at least 15-30 minutes of 1:1 time. She’s young and I really value this time and feeling connected with her. There will come a day when it’s less, but I’m hoping not until middle school at the earliest. Even when we’re both doing our own thing but in the same room, I think there is value.[/quote]
